Beautiful. Well maintained. Great place to escape the pavement and connect with nature. Highly recommend!

Love to take my dog for walks and hikes. Trails are well maintained and have a wonderful tree canopy over most. That is great when its a sunny warm day. There are several picnic areas and a nice playground. There is also restrooms and a water fountain with a dog water fountain.

This is such a great place to get away from the city where you can just sit on a bench in the woods to listen to nature or to go for a walk or exercise. The staff in the main building are always polite and ask if you need help. There is a nice little playground at the end of one of the trails for the kids to play on and when when you need a bench to rest on. I have spent many hours here sitting by the river listening to the babbling brook and the birds. It is also a great place for nature photographers.

Great place to walk on gravel paths and paths into the woods. Great place for easy to moderate hikes. They have two outside picnic areas and a nature center.
